Album Review

The Roots-"How I Got Over"

Now, i'm a huge Roots fan, and I have been for awhile. When they signed on to be Jimmy Kimmel's house band for his late show a year or so back, I felt like maybe it was the end of The Roots making music. But when I got word that they were dropping "How I Got Over" this summer, the anticipation and high expectations proceeded. As soon as you press play, each and every single song on the album flows together, from "A Peace of Light" to "Hustla", this album is without a doubt the best one of the year, so far. Ever since this gem dropped, I haven't gone a day without playing a few cuts. And even though the instruments, vocals, and features on this album make it a lot different from the ones past, it doesn't take away from the fact that this is once again a testament to the fact that The Roots are one of the greatest groups in hip hop. So, my rating for the album is.


Five stars out of a possible five. When i say I think this is the best album of the year so far, I mean it. And if you don't believe me, I suggest you peep it.
